Page 3 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Measurement and verification: Is needed to confirm project energy savings and validate that anticipated or guaranteed performance has been achieved Presents common definitions, terminology and procedures for energy- efficiency projects Improves communication and understanding among project implementing partners Provides a risk management tool to financing entities Minimizes disagreements and disputes Facilitates persistence of energy savings Why M&V
Page 4 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Key Considerations in M&V
Page 5 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Who Should Conduct M&V?
Page 6 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing The costs of M&V depend on the energy efficiency technologies and measures to be implemented and the approach and methodology to be utilized M&V costs 5 to 10% of project investments Trade off between accuracy of the M&V cost of M&V Simple approaches are preferred to reduce costs and minimize potential for disputes How much does M&V cost?
Page 7 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing If the project host conducts or engages a third party to conduct M&V, the host directly pays the M&V costs If the ESCO conducts or engages a third party to conduct M&V, the M&V costs are part of ESCO’s costs In either case, the M&V costs are an integral element of project cost and an allowance needs to be made in the project budget and financing plan for these costs While the M&V is specified in the Energy Services Agreement between the ESCO and host, the lender needs to understand and approve the M&V approach and costs Who Pays for M&V Costs?

Page 14 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing IPMVP Developed by a coalition of researchers and practitioners Managed by independent organization (EVO) dedicated to provision of tools to quantify the results of EE projects and programs. Provides flexible framework of M&V options that allows practitioners to craft the right M&V Plan for their project Internationally recognized and accepted Certification program for M&V professionals Implemented in India by Alliance for Energy-Efficient Economy (AEEE) International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol

Page 22 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Simple approach (and low cost) Performance parameters are measured (before and after), usage parameters may be estimated Used where the “potential to perform” needs to be verified but accurate savings estimation is not necessary Key features Low cost Simple procedure Requires agreement among parties Option A 22
Page 23 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Under Option B, some or all parameters are measured periodically or continuously Applicable where accurate savings estimation is necessary and long- term performance needs tracking Reduced uncertainty, but requires more effort Key features “Real” M&V Improved O&M Ongoing Commissioning Remote monitoring Option B 23
Page 24 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Option C looks at energy use and cost of entire facility, not at specific equipment Conceptually simple, may be difficult in practice Key features: Can consider weather, occupancy, etc. Useful where total savings need to be valued but component savings do not Commercial software is available that simplifies implementation May require baseline adjustments Option C 24
Page 25 July 2014 Capacity Building of Banks/FIs For EE Project Financing Option D treats building as computer model Flexible, but requires significant effort Applications: New construction Energy management & control systems Building use changes Building envelope modifications & additions Uses specialized software that requires substantial experience Requires measurements for calibration Option D 25
